i don't want to be me anymore


i'm all obssesive

and all compulsive

and all disordered



i don't want to be me anymore



because i don't want
to have seven showers a day



i want to walk
on the left side
of a lightpost



i don't want to
turn the ring-pull
on my can
45 degrees
to the right
after i've opened it



and i want to
get into my bed
on the left side
at night



and then maybe



(for once)



i'll get out
on the right side
of bed
in the morning



and have a nice day

Hi, faith. Welcome to A2K. I truly identified with your poem in the opposite way, and that is what makes it so meaningful.

Faith,

I'd like to ask, if you don't mind, what this peom is all about? Did you not want to be yourself. Is it that you slept on the right side of your bed and crept out on the left when you were still yourself? Did you try hard to get out of "yourself", a notion that is itself difficult to define. What in the world you would like to be and not to be?

Faith,

I was very, very moved by your poem.

God bless you.

...and keep writing.

thanks everyone......
i guess this was just me venting.....
i do the same things every day and i have the same little annoying habits (i actually do all those things and i can't help it, or even notice it anymore!!!) i guess i just finally realised what i've become and i'm not sure i like it...
i just want to be normal!!!
but hey, what's that??? Smile
